A diet high in carbohydrates and low in protein reduces its effectiveness, according to Layman.

Forty-eight adult women participated in Layman’s study for four months. The members of a group followed a protein-rich diet designed to contain specific levels of leucine, one of the essential amino acids. The second group ate a diet that had higher amounts of carbohydrates.

Both groups ate the same number of calories, but the second substituted for foods rich in high quality protein such as meat, dairy, eggs and nuts, for foods high in carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cereal, pasta and potatoes.
